PodRide: Quirky and Cool

Is this the smallest car you've ever seen - or just a joke? None of the two, it turns out: PodRide is an e-bike(!) like no other, being developed by the Swedish engineer Mikael Kjellman who started sketching his idea several years ago. Obviously, the legal framework for e-bikes varies hugely between countries but at least in Sweden (and apparently most EU countries, plus UK) a four-wheeler e-bike is just fine.

Mikaels's PodRide has been available for backing on the IndieGoGo crowdfunding platform since 2016 but, during the last couple of years, few updates have popped up there. However, the latest update is fresh - at the time of this writing - dating from November 2020 so the project is still very much alive.

I'd think most people have strong opinions about PodRide; nerdy, quirky, crazy, cute come to mind right away. I sure would leave out the 'crazy' and go for the three others; adding Cool makes perfect sense to me as well. Go PodRide!
